TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - A federal judge on Tuesday blocked the United States Postal Service (USPS) from implementing provisions of President Donald Trump's executive order that tighten mail-in voting rules ahead of the November midterm elections.
U.S. District Court Judge for the District of Massachusetts Indira Talwani issued a new injunction prohibiting the USPS from enforcing the provision nationwide.
Previously, Trump signed Executive Order 14399 titled "Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections" on March 31.
The order, among other things, instructs the USPS to establish requirements for mail-in and absentee ballots.
The U.S. Supreme Court is currently considering the Trump administration's request to overturn Talwani's previous ruling on the executive order.
